Ani, who appears in the second half, is the strongest character however, she is also the youngest, making her likable. There is a great deal of star power in Kate, and I guess that is why I expected some genuinely high-quality performances, and while they are not bad, they are not at their best during the first act, and, in many regards, the second act either. Despite Kate’s deteriorating health, she develops an unlikely bond with the teenage daughter of one of her past victims, Ani. Her next discovery is that she has been poisoned as a result of the brutal twenty-four-hour execution, she declares that revenge must be exacted. One night, while on a mission, she mishandled an assignment intended to target a member of the Yazuka in Tokyo. Kate is a world-class assassin (aren’t they all?) who is meticulous, skilled, and at the top of her game. Netflix’s Kate follows the same premise only she is portrayed as a badass female character. It is often men who are at the forefront, and they are pretty gruesome in their content. It is also possible that it is a family situation in which a friend has become family and has turned their back on their brotherly behavior (most times, this is the premise of action-thrillers). In most action-thriller films, the main protagonist has already committed an act of misconduct and must pay the price months, years, or even decades later. Available for streaming currently in the U.S. Kate was released on September 10th, 2021, on Netflix. Ultimately, it is for this reason that Kate remains quite an entertaining film. However, what differentiates Kate from the rest of the crowd is that she represents these tropes while providing a female perspective, which is rare in any case. Despite Kate‘s passing greatness, the depth of the story does not quite deliver. Arriving at just over an hour and a half, Kate (2021) is action-packed, kicking asses and taking no prisoners. Action-packed and heavily gory, action-thriller movies lack the emotional development usually found in a typical action film. The most recent is Netflix’s The Night Comes for Us (2018), which has a similar premise, though a different cast. Kate (2021) can be considered a westernized version of international action-thriller films.
